This paper studies the interpretation of physics near a Schwarzschild black hole. A scenario for creation and growth is proposed that avoids the conundrum of information loss. In this picture the horizon recedes as it is approached and has…
We study black hole linear perturbation theory in a four-dimensional Schwarzschild (anti) de Sitter background. When dealing with a positive cosmological constant, the corresponding spectral problem is solved systematically via the…
We study the size distribution of very massive close string states and the typical string configuration as one slowly increase the string coupling, both in the case of zero and of non-zero Neveu-Schwarz charges. The computations are…
String loop vibrations in a central plane of a Schwarzschild black hole are investigated for various string equations of state. We discuss string loop stability and derive frequencies of vibrational modes. Using the vibrating string loop…
We study entanglement between two modes of a free bosonic and fermionic field as seen by two relatively accelerating observers at the soft-hair horizon of a four-dimensional supertranslated Schwarzschild black hole. First, we associate the…
The goal of this short note is to provide a simpler derivation of the effective potential surrounding a Schwarzschild black hole for spherically symmetric perturbations in the framework of torsion bigravity than the one presented in [V.…
In this work the gravitational lensing in the strong field limit around the Schwarzschild black hole pierced by a cosmic string is studied. We find that the deflection angle and the time delay of the relativistic images depend on the…
The gravitational interaction of an infinitely long cosmic string with a Schwarzschild black hole is studied. We consider a straight string that is initially at a great distance and moving at some initial velocity v (0 < v < c) towards the…
The limit of large number of dimensions localizes the gravitational field of a black hole in a well-defined region near the horizon. The perturbative dynamics of the black hole can then be characterized in terms of states in the…
The negative mode of the Schwarzschild black hole is central to Euclidean quantum gravity around hot flat space and for the Gregory-Laflamme black string instability. We analyze the eigenvalue as a function of space-time dimension by…
Previous analysis about thin-shell wormholes associated to cosmic strings are extended. More evidence is found supporting the conjecture that, under reasonable assumptions about the equations of state of matter on the shell, the…
Supersymmetric extreme dyonic black holes of toroidally compactified heterotic or type II string theory can be viewed as lower-dimensional images of solitonic strings wound around a compact dimension. We consider conformal sigma models…
In this paper, we derive a soft photon theorem in the near horizon region of the Schwarzschild black hole from the Ward identity of the near horizon large gauge transformation. The flat spacetime soft photon theorem can be recovered as a…
We consider scattering and capture of circular cosmic strings by a Schwarzschild black hole. Although being a priori a very simple axially symmetric two-body problem, it shows all the features of chaotic scattering. In particular, it…
We describe a large class of solutions in pure gravity, dilaton gravity and supergravity corresponding to extended higher-dimensional black holes with strong (non-linear) gravitational waves propagating along their worldvolume. For pure…
It is argued that a characteristic length may be associated with the entropic state of a spherically symmetric black hole in the cosmological context. This length is much smaller than the Schwarzschild-radius of a black hole and may act as…
String theory suggests that black hole microstates are quantum, horizon sized `fuzzballs', rather than smooth geometries with horizon. Radiation from fuzzballs can carry information and does not lead to information loss. But if we let a…
We construct an approximate static gravitational solution of the Einstein equations, with negative cosmological constant, describing a test black string stretching from the boundary of the Schwarzschild-AdS_5 black brane toward the horizon.…
We find exact solutions of the Einstein equations which describe a black hole pierced by infinitely thin cosmic strings. The string segments enter the black hole along the radii and their positions coincide with the symmetry axes of a…
We review old and recent results on subleading contributions to black hole entropy in string theory.
